quitters ruining my experience

dkidfrmdbx · 2009-02-03 08:45:14

i was playing Gears of War 2 today and after about 2 months with this game i am pissed. The reason i am pissed for is the relentless quitting that takes place withing GOW2. I presume that this doe snot only happen with gears, but a bunch of multiplayer games for xbox live. Ive played countless games where i could have won the match if we simply would have had one more player. Something that also happens all the time is that ill be playing the game, and after about a round or two the losing team begins to slowly quit. If your losing take it like a man and stay in the damn game. Which brings me to my main point. I think they should create a system for gears where if a player quits they are banned from playing gears of war for 3 full days starting from the moment they quit. I understand that it would be very difficult, but they coudl probably make a system where it can tell if a game was laggy or not, because some games are just too laggy to play in so laggy games should be exempt, but if a player quits in the middle of the game or right before the game begins, they should be banned for 3 days. Now i know that sometimes emergencies pop up that are very important to attend too, but if it was something really serious it would probably keep you away from multiplayer games anyway as you would be too preoocupied with emergencies. Also i noticce a correlation between quitting and players who have a higher rank. it seems that when a team is losing a player with 3 stripes will usually quit which pisses me off also. SO this would be a proper measure to make sure people stay in the games and everyone has fun. I believe when one player leaves, the game isnt as fun. anymore because of the disadvantage the team has to deal with. Also when one quits sometimes all the players of that team begin to quit. Ive played many rounds where i was the only player playing due to the whole team quitting. They should also move people down a rank if they quit to teach them a lesson. And if they were to petition their rank going down then they shoudl sign an agreement saying they will not quit anymore, or they will be terminated from gears online for 3 months. I kno i seem like an extremist, but those people are pissing me off and i cant even play a full game most of the time without someone quitting liek a sissy.

Usually with Call of Duty: WOW or Call of Duty 4. I haven't played Gears of War 2 online yet.

i already adressed that if it was laggy they could possibly come up with something to tell ... or they oculd rely on player honesty by sending out like a question thing if the whole team quits. It woudl ask like if the game was laggy or notdkidfrmdbx

When the thing freezes the game up that much, and the other players are impatient and want to use their microphones rather than give me some time to type out messages, it is pretty pointless. They probably don't care anyways, thats what the quit option is there for.

I love online play but they shouldn't even give you an option to quit. If its real laggy than they should just give a new host or something. But theres nothing I hate more than playing a game of madden and fricken be winning and they quit and because I'd rather play against a real opponent than the cpu I quit and I don't get the Win. If I wanted to play against the CPU or Bots or whatever than why pay 50 bucks for xbox live? I don't think quitters should be banned....but I think there needs to be a better way to match up quitters with the quitters and the gamers with people that spent the damn 60 bucks on a game and the 50 bucks on xbox live and the 300 dollars for the xbox and be able to fricken enjoy the game without a bunch of sissy cry baby quitters.

I rearely quit if at all but it is understandable when people quit in vs death matches. If you play Horde mode you rarely get quitters, because everyone is in one team.

But the vs modes can suck when you have a team using heavy weapons and hogging the sniper positions, it gets frustrating and when that happens it isn't fun.

i dont understand why they do not allow bots to take a quitters place. Or at least allow you to invite someone from your friends list to fill in the spot in Gears!

[QUOTE="Davroar-Serpent"]
Quiting is an option for gamer's who need to quit. Stop being little babies, it is an online live community, and people do have thing's to do in life.

I'd like you to quote who you think is being a "little baby" in this thread. Or were you talking about all of us? Insulting most everyone in a thread's a great way to get your point across. Welcome to GameSpot.

Obviously, no one's complaining about people who quit for legitimate reasons, like connection failures or their house being on fire. Gamers are upset by people who agree to participate in a fair contest, and then at the slightest sign of losing, quit and waste everyone's time. Yes, people have things to do in life. If you have something to do, like go to dinner with your boss in five minutes, then you shouldn't start an online game where your quitting is going to ruin other peoples' experience. That's impolite. It's like getting together for a game of golf with a friend, who after his ball goes into the water on the second hole, informs you that he has to leave because he's getting married in five minutes. At best, quitters practice poor time management, and at worse, they're just asses.

i know what you mean man. any time when i can play a full good game with no one quitting or lag i feel blessed. what i say onto the problem of people quitting; scrap the ranking system-i know gold bars will/have left a game just because of the ranking system. if some one does leave it should allow for some one to potentially join if a spot becomes available. like cod4...idk why they didnt just leave it that way like they did in gears1 :?

Yeah, I don't understand why people like to quit games. Literally, they join a game, then quit 2 minutes after. I haven't noticed this in most games, but I did notice it a lot in Mortal Kombat vs. DC. I mean, what is the point? So, you can be at the top of the leaderboards? Who really cares? Seriously, games are meant to be fun and for people to enjoy them, not for scores and leaderboards and crap like that. And a lot of people do this in MKvs.DC, just play the game and you will see what I mean.
